  • Switch between related content panels without navigating away from the page.
  • Organize settings, account sections, or product details into labeled panels.
  • Use the vertical orientation when tab labels work better as a side navigation.
  • Choose the line variant for a lighter tab bar with an active-position marker.

Examples

Account settings

Use the default horizontal tab list to switch between related account panels.

account-settings.tsx
import { Tabs, TabsContent, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs"export function AccountSettings() {  return (    <Tabs defaultValue="profile">      <TabsList>        <TabsTrigger value="profile">Profile</TabsTrigger>        <TabsTrigger value="notifications">Notifications</TabsTrigger>      </TabsList>      <TabsContent value="profile">Update your profile information.</TabsContent>      <TabsContent value="notifications">Choose which updates to receive.</TabsContent>    </Tabs>  )}

Vertical product details

Use vertical orientation and the line variant for a side-by-side details layout.

vertical-product-details.tsx
import { Tabs, TabsContent, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs"export function ProductDetails() {  return (    <Tabs orientation="vertical" defaultValue="specifications">      <TabsList variant="line">        <TabsTrigger value="specifications">Specifications</TabsTrigger>        <TabsTrigger value="care">Care</TabsTrigger>      </TabsList>      <TabsContent value="specifications">Materials, dimensions, and weight.</TabsContent>      <TabsContent value="care">Cleaning and care instructions.</TabsContent>    </Tabs>  )}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
TabsTabsPrimitive.Root.Props—Props are passed to the Base UI Tabs root. The orientation prop defaults to "horizontal"; the component also adds a data-slot attribute and merges the supplied className with its layout classes.
TabsListTabsPrimitive.List.Props & VariantProps<typeof tabsListVariants>—Props are passed to the Base UI Tabs list. The additional variant prop accepts "default" or "line" and defaults to "default". className is merged with the selected variant classes.
TabsTriggerTabsPrimitive.Tab.Props—Props are passed to the Base UI tab trigger. className is merged with the component’s trigger styles.
TabsContentTabsPrimitive.Panel.Props—Props are passed to the Base UI panel. className is merged with the component’s panel styles.

Accessibility

  • These components wrap Base UI Tabs primitives, which provide the tabs interaction and accessibility behavior; use matching trigger and panel values as expected by the underlying primitive.
  • Keep trigger labels clear and concise so each tab’s purpose is understandable.
  • The trigger styles include a visible focus outline for keyboard focus.
  • Pass through the underlying primitive’s disabled props when a tab should be unavailable.
